My husband and I were once divorced… and today we’re happily remarried.
Six months after we first got married, I became pregnant. Around that time, my husband started acting very differently. He would constantly text me throughout the day about his fantasies, and it quickly became overwhelming. Instead of feeling like his partner, I felt like an object. I was already emotional and exhausted from the pregnancy, and the pressure of it all became too much.
I remember wishing I had seen this side of him earlier so we could have addressed it with therapy before things reached a breaking point. But in that moment, I was preparing to become a mother and couldn’t handle the stress anymore. I made the difficult decision to ask for a divorce.
We spent the next year and a half apart. During that time, both of us went to therapy and worked on ourselves. Despite everything, we still loved each other. Eventually, we decided to try again—but this time with one important rule: we would attend couples therapy together before rebuilding our relationship.
Now we’ve been remarried for three years, and our relationship is stronger than ever. Looking back, the divorce may have felt like the end, but it turned out to be exactly what we needed to grow, heal, and find our way back to each other.
